[ 03 — How it works ]

A coworker, not another chatbot.

01

Works where you work

Give OpenCowork a goal. It can read project files, use the browser, run commands, and make progress across the tools already on your computer.

02

You stay in control

Every consequential action is visible. Approve it, change course, or take over. There is no mysterious black box between you and the work.

03

Open by default

Inspect the source, bring your own model, write custom skills, and run it on your own infrastructure. Your coworker should belong to you.

[ 04 — Open source ]

Your coworker.
Your rules.

OpenCowork is being built in the open. Early access gets you the source and a seat at the table while we shape it.
